1. ABOUT THE COURSE

Rapid Technological developments and large scale Mechanization in Petrochemical, Chemical, Engineering Industries, Construction activities etc., have resulted in complex Safety & Health problems in these Industries. Hence these Industries need the services of qualified safety professionals exclusively to take care of various Safety and Health aspects of their personnel/other persons who are likely to be affected by any adverse effects arising from these Industries. Recognizing this need and also to facilitate the Factory Management in fulfilling the Statutory requirements regarding appointment of Safety officers under Section 40-B of The Factories Act, 1948, this Institute has been conducting the Diploma Course in Industrial Safety, since 1982.
